"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"One valuable feature of Azure App Service for us is its integration with Azure DevOps, which we heavily rely on in our development process."
"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service is that it's a PaaS. I also like that it supports Docker and multiple frameworks so that you can work on Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and Python."
"The most valuable feature is the time-to-market because you can make apps pretty fast."
"Power Automate has been the most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"In Microsoft PowerApps the most valuable features are the fully customizable design that we can control everything that we would like to control. For example, the integration between Microsoft and third-party services through pre-built connectors, and the functionality to create custom connectors."
"The most valuable feature is the simple data connectivity components."
"It allows us to provide all the information in one single place."
"The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time."
"I would say that the most valuable features are the user interface, navigation, and business routes."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"The outbound connectivity is not great."
"I am new to the intervention and I find it difficult to find my way around the user interface. I have my own learning tool. However, it could be simpler for new users."
"Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration and connectivity with other platforms. The solution has good integration with other large companies' solutions but there are smaller service platforms companies where there could be integrated better."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
"The fact that we couldn't share that with our other organization or outside of the organization, consisting of our colleagues in the joint ventures, was a weakness of the solution."
"In some cases, PowerApps would have some limitations in terms of the data, the number of transactions, and so on, but for a normal solution, it would be enough."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"Customer support needs improvement."
"The availability of templates needs to be improved. I understand that the ecosystem around it is still developing, but we need more templates. I would like the entire ecosystem around it to improve. I would recommend adding AI components. Even though we can always connect to Azure for AI components, they should slowly start looking at adding some AI components to PowerApps so that out-of-the-box learning can be applied to process flows. Salesforce has the Einstein layer that works along with license platforms. PowerApps should also have something similar."
"The stability of this solution could be better."
